The vigil takes place every year on Shannon’s grave on the closest week-end to Shannon’s birthday. Melonheads from everywhere meet to celebrate Shannon’s life. Shannon’s mother (Nel Hoon) is always there and Vernie (Shannon’s grandma) also comes. Since 2003, a show (the vigilstock) also held on the sunday in Lafayette where a lot of bands celebrate Shannon’s music.
